Hello, I just went through hell w/ my domain registrar, verio.com. I
was trying to change DNS servers to my own machines so that I can take
care of DNS myself. My servers were all ready, configured, and had
proper zone files. Verio 's tool for changing DNS names just wouldn 't
work.
20 or so emails later, and a phone call, I find out that according to
them, to be a SOA server for any domain that ends in
.com/.net/.org/(some others?) you have to 'register ' your name server.
THis means that there must be a A record for your name servers, and
that A record needs to be 'registered ' through your registrar as a
name server. This totally blew me out of the water, since I have
never heard of this. To make matters worse, they wanted to use A
records based off my domain, so now my name servers are
dns1.j2solutions.net and dns2.j2solutions.net. This seems odd to me,
as how can you use dns1.j2solutions.net to resolve addresses for the
j2solutions.net domain, when you don 't have the address for
dns1.j2solutions.net? Chicken, egg?
Am I taking one too many hits of the crack pipe, and just don 't
understand it, or am I getting smoke blown up my ***? Can somebody
clarify this for me? TIA!
